Kids Ministry Training is a practical day for anyone who wants to teach the Bible faithfully to children.

Every week, across New Zealand, church staff and keen volunteers share the good news about Jesus with kids. The Bible is taught in Sunday schools, kids church, mid-week clubs, camps, holiday programmes and at special events.

Our task is to read the Bible well, understand what God is really saying, package and present the key truths in a way that children can understand. We want the gospel to be clear and we want our teaching to be engaging.

Join us for Kids Ministry Training – a hands-on learning event. You’ll gain confidence in how to read and understand the Bible, gather ideas on how to prepare fun and engaging lessons, and share tips and tricks (as well as encouragement) with others involved in this vital ministry.
